Monster Mod - Lore Edition

Description

I've always loved monster mods for games. I feel like enemy variety, even if only visual, is extremely important and often neglected by developers. So the modding community picking up the slack was always nice. Though often these mods seemed to contain creatures that...didn't exactly fit within the established world and lore. Such as the T-800s or LMG-wielding geckos from our very own Monster Mod. Luckily though, users usually modified these mods to make them fall within the lore a bit better. Such was the case with Monster Mod - Wasteland Edition. For many years this mod was a staple in my load order.

But...tragedy! Dismay! Despair! For some reason, recently, Monster Mod - Wasteland Edition was axed from the Nexus. I don't know why, but this was quite troubling. So, with all my power I took upon the leviathan task of...pressing the delete key several times and renaming a few entries in the GECK! I know, the skill required is unfathomable. But I have done it. And hopefully it will prove useful to others.

Shitposting Descriptions of my Herculean Deed aside, as you probably gathered this removes creatures I considered to be immersion-breaking from Monster Mod and Monster Mod - Additions as well as renaming some that had immersion-breaking names. I kept creatures that had either appeared in previous Fallout titles or seemed lore-plausible. Such as irradiated cougars existing given that we see coyotes and irradiated dogs everywhere. Also, before someone complains about cats, we have the quest with Cuddle and that dude with a pet cat in Fallout 2 and we see them all over the Commonwealth in 4. Mr House says cats are extinct, but House lives in a tube disconnected from everyone else and is known to be a bit of an idiot sometimes.

In each .rar, there is a list of included changes. This goes over creatures removed, creatures renamed and creatures left unchanged.
